This came up in one of the Chris Johnson threads but I'm curious to see where public opinion is on this right now. Feel free to reply with reasons for your vote.

 
I like the topic because it asks at what point do you alter your pre-season rankings/perceptions. After three games, I have to vote for Fred Jackson based on three consistent games. Chris Johnson has more upside (he can't play worse) and we may have seen Fred Jackson's ceiling, but the fact he put up good numbers for the first quarter of the regular season makes me thing he's for real.

Putting this question into actionable terms:

If you have both on your team, would you start Fred Jackson over Chris Johnson. Yes, I would right now.

If you have Chris Johnson and were offered Fred Jackson straight up in a trade, would you send Chris Johnson packing? That one is a tougher question and gives me more pause....and candidly makes me question how confident I am in my original answer :) .

 
It's weird, this poll started out about even, then everyone voted Fred Jackson, now Johnson is making a comeback.

 
Jackson is on an offense firing on all cylinders, while Tennessee just lost a great WR for the season (Britt), so it wouldn't surprise me if he finishes the season ahead of Johnson.

However, from weeks 4-16 it would greatly surprise me if Johnson doesn't outscore Freddie. Not saying it's impossible, just that the rest of the way I'ld rather have CJ. But, it's no longer the foregone conclusion that it would seem to have been a few weeks ago...

Great answer. I completely agree.
 
What's that saying the FBG staff use? The "new reality"?

Give me the guy that's producing over the guy that isn't, especially when there are some theories as to what's wrong but no real comfort that it's going to get resolved.

(BTW, I own both in the same league)

 
Horrible thread, and should be in the AC forum. Mask it all you like, this is an obvious question about your team.

Aren't there some kids you need to chase off your lawn?
If I had to guess, I would have thought he was one of the kids on the lawn...
Funny thing is, mr. know it all, dime psychiatrist, shark pool police officer completely swung and missed here. This poll was actually created because of a debate between myself and GCP. :ph34r:
